| * | Elsie Encarnación | | Preconsidered | Wellness checks on older adults during certain weather events. | Introduction | This bill would require the Commissioner of the New York City (NYC) Department for the Aging (DFTA) to develop a protocol in collaboration with NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM) and relevant agencies to conduct in-person and phone-based wellness checks during extreme weather events, including Code Blue and Code Red alerts, or during heat-related emergencies as determined by the National Weather Services or the Commissioner of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Wellness checks would include a set of questions developed by DFTA to gauge an older adult’s well-being, a determination of such older adult’s apparent well-being, an evaluation and report of the conditions in such older adult’s place of residence, including the temperature, the presence of and functionality of heating or cooling devices or equipment, and any other concerns in relation to the well-being of the older adult. | | |

| * | Linda Lee | | Preconsidered | Requiring the department for the aging to maintain non-digital access to forms and services. | Introduction | This bill would require the New York City Department for the Aging (DFTA) to make any applications, forms, benefits, program enrollment, informational resource, or services which are offered by DFTA in an online or digital format accessible through non-digital means, including by phone and in paper form in the designated citywide languages. The DFTA Commissioner (the “Commissioner”) would be permitted to review DFTA services and submit in writing to the Mayor and to the Speaker of the Council a determination as to whether any such service is necessary to provide in non-digital formats, and the rationale for the Commissioner’s determination. The Commissioner would then be allowed to implement changes pursuant to a determination no earlier than 90 days following the written submission of such determination. | | |
